Target: Denver

Q: What do the Broncos getting blown out in a game and a used car have in common?

A Charger fan walks into a bar. There is Broncos memorabilia all over the bar. The bartender is decked out in Broncos gear. The bartender is watching the Broncos/Chargers game on tv, along with a dog wearing a Broncos sweater.

The Charger fan orders a beer, and starts watching the game. The score is 27-0 in the first quarter in favor of the Chargers. Orton drives the Broncos down to the 3 yard line, but again, can't punch it into the end zone. They kick a field goal, making the score 27-3.

The bartender and the dog both go crazy. The dog is jumping all over the bar, barking, tail wagging. The Chargers fan is pretty amazed at the dogs reaction.

The Charger fan says, "That's some dog you got there, buddy. What does he do when Denver scores a touchdown?"
